Built by Kempe Gowda, this temple with four remarkable monolithic pillars is dedicated to Lord Shiva. The temple also has a rare, beautiful idol of Agni, the God of fire. The annual festival is on Makara Sankaranti day (mid-January) when thousands of devotees flock to see the sunrays fall on the Sivalinga between 17.00 hrs and 18.00 hrs.
